The first of 5 bagatelles for string quartet, performed by @kussquartett , released today on an album with Mozart and Trojahn on @rubiconclassics .
I wrote this one as part of the Kuss's postcard (one page piece) series, and then wrote 4 more.
The set of five will be premiered at 2026 @hitzacker.festival .
I'm looking forward to teaching on the Composition Course within the Klexoslab festival in Plasencia, Spain in July 2026.
Participants will have a new piece played in the festival. Applications due on April 8.

We get into music because we love it.
What we don't realize at the beginning is that we're signing up for a life of ups and downs with good news, bad news and everything in between.
In this moment from the podcast @mshlomowitz talks about learning to put your work out there without expectations and not taking every reaction too personal.

Episode 4 is out.
In this conversation, composer Matthew Shlomowitz and I talk about artistic voice, collaboration and what it means to be as a musician today.
We discuss where the idea of “artistic voice” comes from, whether it’s something we need to protect, and how collaboration and feedback can shape creative work.
This episode isn’t about finding a formula. It’s about asking better questions.
